Description
Alongside the scoops, this location serves chocolate chip cookies, cookie sandwiches, sundaes, and milkshakes. The experience here can spark mixed reactions: some visitors enjoy patient service with plenty of samples, while others note high prices and frequent flavor shortages that can rush the decision process. If you do order, expect generous portions—especially the medium size—with options ranging from banana bread to cookie dough.
